One Upstate woman who does not want to be identified told News 4's Gabrielle Komorowski on Tuesday, a man with a heavy foreign accent called her and told her the government is sending her a new Medicare card.

"He said, 'How do you get your Social Security check? Is it through the bank or your mailbox?' And right then, I knew it had to be a scam," she said.

The woman says when she questioned the caller, he hung up on her.

"I just want to warn senior citizens out there that they should be on the lookout for these kind of calls, and do not give out any information," she said.

According to the Better Business Bureau, people all around the country are receiving similar phone calls. In some cases, the caller will ask for bank account and Social Security numbers.

The BBB wants people to know there is no card for the new Affordable Care Act. The BBB also warns that people should not be deceived by caller ID because scammers have advanced technology that lets them display any number or organization.
